CLASS HISTOKY Right tlii way folks! isit the tent of the gvpsy. gaze into her magic rivstal. and recall your past, or see what the future has in store for you. As time was weighing heavily on my hands. I entered the weird tent and seated myself before the crystal of the past. At first the scene was dim, but soon there appeared a group of buildings which I inmiediately recognized as those of the FuUerton Union High School campus. Many students moved about the campus. Some appeared very happy and greeted their friends joyfully. But there were others who seemed to feel lost and who looked frightened as they moved among the crowd. Soon I recognized many of my classmates among the frightened groups and realized that this scene was the class of 1925 entering F. U. H. S. as scrubs. After a few moments, this picture faded, and another one flashed into iew. Lee O ' Kelly was trying to get a noisy bunch to come lo order. I guess we were just as bad as other scrubs in our class meetings. Soon the scene of a girls ' basketball game flashed into tiie (■r stal. Tinii ' was called, and a shout arose for the sophomores. The girls of 2.t luul difi ' ated the stuck up juniors and seniors. This picture quickly faded; and George Matter, with a worried look on his face. appeared before a quiet, perplexed group and asked, Are there any suggestions ' ? This was just one of those frequent junior class meetings that we had when the problem of financing the junior-senior reception faced us. Next, the whole campus flashed into view, but there was an unusual a| pearan( e about it. Purple and white colors were flying e ervwhere. Students dressed in purple and white appeared and gazed proudly upon lluii ( nl(ii . Then excitement began. Enemies rushed in and tried to seize the puipli- and (liile and throw it to the ground. But these enemies were forced to nlii ' al. and tin- ( cilors continued to fly. I immediately recognized this scene as our gloriou- ' .lunior l)av. We surely show ' ed the seniors who was who at F. U. H. S. A softly-lighted Spanish cafe became visjlilr. Sparii h wallers served the gay guests. Meanwhile, soft, enchanting nin ir ilrilird inio the aii : and charming senoritas danced and sang. It took me liltic lime lo icali i- llial llii- was the ne er- to-be-forgotten reception we gave the seniors of ' 21. The entire campus again appeared. Again there uric niall lu(lrnl who srenird frightened and older ones who joyfully greeted tlnii frii-n(k. I!ut this time 1 recognized my classmates among the dignified group ho looked down with pitv on the poor, frightened ones. The Class of 25 had begun il la-l ear at 1- . I . H. S. with all the dignity that a senior class usually has. A football game flashed into the crystal. 1 rei (i ' .;ni e(l ii a tin- lamou- Santa Ana game when our team went down the field to iilor . ih1 on ihi vonderlul team there were several members of the Class of 25. Soon I saw groups of persons dressed in queer looking clothes which resendjled those of convicts. As they moved about the campus, the other persons gazed at them in amazement and fear for a time but then turned away in envv. Who could forget the senior -w eaters of ' 25 or the sensation they created? Slowh anolliri | iclure appeared. It portrayed the last U ' w niinnto of com- mencement. One liv one the members of the Class of l ' )25 re eixcd their hard-earned diplomas. .Although they outwardly appeared ha|i|i . linn- wa- -a lness in the hearts of all. They no longer belonged to F. U. H. S. r (i ai ain lonid they attend those peppy assemblies or exciting football games as nirmlM r ol llir student body of FuUerton I nion llii;li Siln.ol. Never again would llir cnlirc (las- of 25 meet. Their ha| p lii ' .;li rliool da - were ffone fore er. The scene faded. I placed a coin in th.- i:Np hand arid l.-fl ihc 1,-nl. lo enter c more into the world of realitN. iuL L ., . 25.
